With Dr. John's 69th birthday coming up this Saturday I felt the urge to keep my Dr. John post streak going. 
This is another ESSENTIAL album right here.  Total Classic.  If you enjoyed all the other Dr. John albums that I posted, or even if you didn't GET THIS ONE NOW!!  This is another one that everyone in the Crescent City knows all about.  Mardi Gras vibes galore.  Don't miss this, trust me.
